Ex-Plymouth goalie Zepp helps launch NHLPA program for life outside of hockey

Ex-Plymouth Whalers goalie Rob Zepp, Manager of Special Projects for the NHLPA, discusses the Learn, Play, Score initiative before a game in 2020 between the Detroit Red Wings and Montreal Canadiens at Little Caesars Arena.

Early in his time in the NHL, Edmonton Oilers defenseman Darnell Nurse says he did not notice a lot of players talking about what to do after hockey. Going into his ninth season, the chatter is now normal.

“People are curious as to what there is outside the game and what you can do to prepare yourself,” Nurse said.
